Taking the train to Kansas City

[Alan R. Barnard]

Ah, a man after my own heart. Train's the ONLY way to travel, especially now with the hassle and indignity at the airports.

>From Chicago, the Southwest Chief comes into KC at about 10:11 pm. You have other options, though, as both Missouri and Illinois subsidize Amtrak trains, so coming through St. Louis, you can arrive in KC at 2:10 PM or 7:10 PM ... and if you browse the weekly specials on Amtrak's website, you'll find that these trains are almost always deeply discounted there!
